Downloading Fuze Store

Fuze Store ships in two pieces. Most stores only need the first; bigger setups also install the second.

1. The Fuze Store mobile app

The mobile app is your POS terminal. It runs on phones and tablets and is what your staff actually use to take orders.

iOS — install from the App Store.
Android — install from Google Play.
Web — open app.fuze-store.com in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox). Useful for back-office tasks on a laptop, or for KDS / CFD displays running in a browser tab.

The web build supports almost everything the native build does — POS, reports, customers, inventory — but Bluetooth printers are native-only because the Web Bluetooth API doesn't have ESC/POS support across all browsers.

2. The Fuze Store Hub desktop app

The Fuze Store Hub is an optional companion that runs on a back-office computer in your store. It bridges your phones and tablets to local hardware:

Thermal printers — connect via USB, network, or serial. The Hub turns them into LAN-shared printers your mobile app can use without Bluetooth pairing.
Kitchen Display System (KDS) — runs the kitchen screen in offline-first mode using a local database that syncs to the cloud when online.
Customer-Facing Display (CFD) — drives a second screen for the customer with cart contents and totals.

You only need the Hub if you have local hardware to connect. If you're running Fuze Store on phones / tablets only, with Bluetooth printers, you can skip the Hub.

Getting the Hub installer

Open the Downloads page on this site. You'll find installers for:

macOS — universal .dmg (Apple Silicon + Intel). Drag the app to your Applications folder.
Windows — NSIS .exe installer. Run as administrator and follow the prompts.
Linux — .AppImage (portable, no install) or .deb (Debian / Ubuntu).

Each download links to its installer page on the Fuze Store Hub guide so you can verify your system requirements before downloading.

After installing the Hub

Launch the Hub. You'll be greeted by a 5-slide onboarding carousel that walks you through the basics.
Sign in with the same account you use on the mobile app. You need to be the store owner, an org owner / admin, or a staff member with the Hub Admin permission to sign in.
Pick the store the Hub will serve. A single Hub install can host multiple stores — each gets its own data folder, so they don't cross over.
Pair your mobile devices using a short pairing code. See Pairing your mobile app.

What if the Hub goes offline?

The Hub works offline-first for KDS and printer routing. If your store's internet drops, your kitchen screen and printers keep working off the local database; the Hub syncs back to the cloud as soon as the connection returns. The session-cache the Hub keeps for sign-in is good for 30 days by default — your staff don't have to re-authenticate every shift.

Updating

The Hub updates itself in the background when a new version is released. The mobile app updates through the App Store / Google Play.

Troubleshooting

Installer is blocked on macOS — open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway under the blocked app message. The Hub is signed by Fuze Store, but Gatekeeper occasionally complains on first launch.
Installer is blocked on Windows — SmartScreen may show a "Windows protected your PC" warning. Click More info → Run anyway. The installer is code-signed.
